    Who were picked with #8 pick in NBA draft last few years? Is this pick high enough to pick a good player? What was the best/worth player picked at #8?

    These kind of questions are easily answered. Sites like NBAdraft.net have complete draft histories.

    Due to rule changes, there is no high school kid in this draft.
    Given the draft history and the FA signing of the Rox management recently, there is a very high possibility that the upcoming draft is a BUST.

    LOL, is 8th too high for a good player...

    Here are some players for you: Shawn Marion, Richard Jefferson, Corey Maggette, Ron Artest, Joe Johnson, Tayshaun Prince, Caron Butler, Boris Diaw, Josh Howard

    All picked after 8 the last few years, and those are just swingmen.

    hey, we actually picked him didn't we? Wasn't he apart of the EG Draft day trade with the one Collins twin and some guy from Pepperdine I never heard of again?

    We picked him for New Jersey - they wanted him. I don't think we had that much interest in him.
